Analysis of Comforted People
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Who measured waters with His hand,
Marked off the Heavens with a span;
Enclosed the dust upon the land,
Weighed the mountains scaled to His plan.
Who scoped the Spirit of the Lord,
Or what man shows Him His counsel;
Who is solely in one accord,
To be considered a stencil.
Whom did He consult to translate,
And who had made Him understand;
Another to emancipate,
The path to justice through the land.
Who taught Him the path of justice,
And taught Him knowledge and wisdom;
For showing Him how to practice,
While reigning in His Kingdom.
The nations are like a pin heads,
Accounted as dust on the scales;
Doing impure things in their beds,
And filled with immoral details.
They are not sufficient to burn,
Nor their beasts enough to offer;
But still, they must start to learn,
To go through this life and suffer.
The nations are nothing before Him,
They are withal for vanity;
That makes the Lord in feeling grim.
Being filled with insanity.
